Little Things- Creative Inspirations Paints

Hi- Happy Thursday! I am returning to the Creative Inspirations Paint team for the third time- another three months- I LOVE these paints, so am excited to play with them and show you what I create with them.
I started off my project with an invitation (for dinner):

The image is I Brake for Stamps. I colored the image with Copics and then highlighted with CI paints Sage, Evergreen, TuTu Pink and Canary.

I had the idea to make wine glass charms out of shrink plastic using the CI paint. (They could also be used as accents for a card, for a cell phone charm, etc......) Then, I thought what a cool idea it would be to try these with Nestability shapes:

I know this die is available at trade shows from Our Daily Bread- because that is where I got it. First, I made a ruler (on the Lt ) out of shrink plastic- what began as 2 1/2 inches is now 1 inch- that is how much your project will shrink. Stamp the image onto the shrink plastic with Stazon. I colored the images strictly with CI paint, punched a hole at the top and then shrunk them with my heat gun.

I used some CI paint to highlight the edge of the shrink plastic before I added the heat to give the edge some color- they are very sparkly IRL.

I hope you will join in the Creative Inspirations Paint challenges- the Current Challenge is Little Things- you do not have to use CI paint for your entry. We would love to have you join us!
